Read full descriptionHide full description
OverCam puts a faint βghostβ of any reference photo right on top of your live camera, so you can line up the exact same shot every time. Whether you're matching a pose, recreating a travel photo, keeping a product angle consistent, or shooting a before-and-after, OverCam makes it effortless to get the framing perfect. HOW IT WORKS β’ Pick a reference β choose a photo from your library or one of the built-in pose templates. β’ See it overlaid β the reference appears semi-transparent over the live camera. β’ Line it up β move, pinch, and rotate the layer, then adjust its opacity. β’ Shoot β tap to focus, use the self-timer, and capture a perfectly aligned photo. FEATURES β’ Adjustable overlay opacity for a subtle guide or a clear reference β’ Move, scale, and rotate the reference layer freely β’ Built-in pose & composition templates (full body, bust, sitting, couples, kids, and more) β’ Portrait and landscape (sideways) selfie templates β’ Rule-of-thirds grid and ground-line guides β’ Front and back camera with natural mirror selfie β’ Native-style zoom with 0.5Γ/1Γ/2Γ/3Γ and everything in between β’ Tap-to-focus and self-timer (3s / 10s) β’ Flip the overlay horizontally to mirror a pose Great for photographers, content creators, cosplayers, real-estate and product shots, fitness progress photos, and anyone who wants their framing just right. OverCam is free to use. Remove ads anytime with a one-time purchase β no subscription.
